The abandoned telegraph line which the Western Union Telegraph company not about establishing through Alaska about 30 years ago is to be rcvlv ed. the company deciding that there is sufficient business to warrant its construction. The line will be built to Forty Mile creek, on-the Yukon. and branches will run to Sltka and Ju- neau. thus putting Alaska in touch with the world. The plan 10 years ago was to construct a line through Alaska, by way of Bering strait to Siberia, and thence to St.Petcrsbu1-g Before the line had been finished to Alaska the success of the At- lantic cubic made the transsiberian line unnecessary.

They tore down many poles in their notlve search for the h ney supposed to be concealed in that region. and the enterprise of carrying the telegraph to that far region may be found it! to In man's-111.111. genial and right.— gr more didicult to accomplish than know} I thought-Buffalo Commercial. ciety of Christian Endeavor of thc:So11tl1.
